So I had an African violet that I bought from Walmart. It wasn't doing very well when I bought it. The flowers were all dried up and many of the leaves were dead. It recovered but was growing very slow and no flowers for the better part of a year. So I put it under a 60 watt equivalent 6500k cfl bulb 16 hour photoperiod and a few weeks later growth has sped up and it is loaded with buds! ![](http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/24/9497999492ef4ec025b6ae4313cd3e62.jpg) ![](http://images.tapatalk-cdn.com/15/11/24/5b7c356e441b1fb89d56b7029c09605d.jpg)

Not bad ![:)](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/smiley.png) Violets is a low-mid light plant that's easier to please, one of my mom's favorite plants. I have one under LEDs right now and the flowers are coming up ![:D](//storage.proboards.com/forum/images/smiley/grin.png)

The purple and white would be cool to have! You should do a leaf cutting!
